About this listen
In a rare look inside America’s favorite mega-sized family, the four eldest girls talk about their faith, their dreams for the future, and what it’s like growing up a Duggar.
Airing weekly throughout the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand, 19 Kids and Counting has made the huge Duggar family into a media phenomenon. The Duggar children are frequently asked, “Tell the truth; do you really agree with the lifestyle your parents have created for you?” Now, the four eldest Duggar girls—Jana, Jill, Jessa, and Jinger—open up about the blessings and advantages of living the Duggar lifestyle.
With a backdrop of the key relationships in their lives—relationship with self, parents, siblings, friends, boys, and God—the four Duggar girls open up about their own personal faith and convictions, boys, dating, manners, living in a large family, politics, and much more. You’ll learn how the family navigates the difficult years between twelve and sixteen and what the girls look for in a man, all in a frank and fun audiobook that will inspire teens and adults alike. Including lighthearted stories about the younger kids’ antics, Growing Up Duggar is a wise and entertaining trip into a family like no other.

Sam Hill always saw the world through different eyes. Born with red pupils, he was called “Devil Boy” or Sam “Hell” by his classmates; “God’s will” is what his mother called his ocular albinism. Her words were of little comfort, but Sam persevered. Sam believed it was God who sent Ernie Cantwell, the only African American kid in his class, to be the friend he so desperately needed. And that it was God’s idea for Mickie Kennedy to storm into Our Lady of Mercy like a tornado, uprooting every rule Sam had been taught about boys and girls. Forty years later, Sam, a small-town eye doctor, is no longer certain anything was by design.

Story
In this second book from the Duggars, they focus on the principles that equip them to face life's challenges—drawing from their most recent challenge with the 3-month premature birth of their newest child, Josie. They also share the new challenges their older children are facing as they prepare for adult life. Central to the book is a section on the principles that the Duggars have consistently taught their children. These simply worded principles are basic to the Duggar family and are shared in a way that other parents can incorporate in their own homes.

Echoing among the Blue Ridge Mountains were the cries of newborn babies that disappeared into the night. The screams of children nearly drowned out by the sound of crickets. A girl, hidden and waiting to be found, terrified, and confused. The fireflies sparkling in the woods, bringing light to darkled places.

Story
When Jade Kelly met her new foster mother, she thought her prayers had been answered. Kindly Carol Docherty was everything her violent, drug-addicted mother was not. Loving and nurturing, she fed and clothed 10-year-old Jade and offered a life free of fear from near constant abuse. Or so Jade thought. As soon as social workers in Lancashire stopped their regular checks on Jade’s progress, Carol turned. Over the next six years Jade and three other girls were effectively kept prisoner in a bedroom she called the ‘bad room’ and subjected to unrelenting physical and mental abuse.

Educational & Awesome!
I love this book! These girls are amazing and can relate to other teens. I was surprised. It taught me a lot on how to be a better parent to my teen daughter. It also taught me things to think about as being a daughter myself. Even though having one child myself as planned & no regrets. We don't dress the way they do. I wish I had this audiobook when I was a teen myself. It would have saved me so much heartache & pain. This book taught me how to deal with it. I bought the book & audiobook in hopes my daughter will read it. I have heard her make comments like I hear in the book. She is in public school since grade 7. This book can help her and guide her father and I in many ways. The book has brought me closer to God. I learned a lot. I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn about the Duggars and anyone with children in their lives. 😄

Love it!
Would you consider the audio edition of Growing Up Duggar to be better than the print version?
I have both. Sometimes I don't have time to sit down and read, so I'll turn on my audiobook. I could listen to it anywhere! In the car on a roadtrip or at my house while I'm cleaning.
Who was your favorite character and why?
All the Duggar girls are inspiring.
What about the narrators’s performance did you like?
It made me feel like I was sitting in a room and having an actual conversation with the Duggar girls!
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes! But unfortunately, I didn't have the time to. ;) I would listen either 30 minutes or one chapter at a time.
Any additional comments?
Please write another book soon!

Every girl/woman should read this!
This is one of those books that every family should read. It helps with your own self perception, helps with parenting, and can bless your whole family if applied.

Absolutely loved this book.
I loved listening to this book. The girls message about how they have been raised in a Godly home with Christian values was beautiful. As a grown woman it has made me reevaluate my life and leaves me striving to put God back in the center of everything I do. I highly recommend this book for all ages but wow what an encouragement for young woman.

The love for Christ and family.
i like how they freely testify about Jesus Christ. I like how they make sure to tell their listeners they are not perfect but strive to follow Christ's direction for them.

Loved it
I love the Duggars and enjoyed hearing some more “behind the scenes” from years past. Even though things have definitely changed since then with the family. And the Josh parts were hard to listen to, the other girls stories were inspiring.

Take some, leave some
Let me start by saying that most people that know me would be confused at my purchasing this title. I’m atheist and am not a fan of organized religion.
I listened to this for the same reason I watch the show. I’m interested in the family dynamics. How did these two parents raise all of these kids to be kind, respectful, loving, and generous? I never hear them yell, or even correct their children in public. How does the homeschool work? My family is taking this educational journey as well. We also plan on having a larger amount of children than the typical 2-3 (not anywhere near 19).
So, I try to tune out the religious words and focus on the other messages. Character qualities, character building, praising 10x more than correcting, building life skills, being happy being single, parenting tidbits, fostering good sibling relationships, volunteering, helping the community, homeschool ideas, financial wisdom, not judging others, and being more positive in everyday life.
It did seem more “preachy” than the show, but overall a decent book. I would like them to release another book with more insights now that most are married and starting their own parenting journey.
